RIO DE JANEIRO — Aurelie Rivard is having her moment, which is starting to look an awful lot like Penny Oleksiak’s moment. Just as Oleksiak made Canada’s biggest splash in the Olympic pool, Rivard has been a one-woman medal machine at these Paralympics. She led from wire-to-wire and, for the second time in this swim meet, fought off her hard-charging rival from New Zealand, Sophie Pascoe. Rivard, 20, touched the wall in 59.31 seconds to win the S10 100-metre freestyle in Paralympic record time. It was Rivard’s second gold medal of the meet and, with a silver in the bag, her third overall.
